I have a 87 sunsport with the 351. It has been changed over to electronic ignition. I gave it a tune up last year when I bought the boat. Plugs, wires, cap and rotor. That helped my
problem alot,...

Thanks fellas, gives us something to start with. No we didn't pour it on the block. Put some on the starter solinoid. Got a carb rebuild kit, but I think I will have my father-in-law do that part for...

Took a trip last weekend to laurel lake, KY. Had two issues throughout the weekend. #1 is there were a couple times when I had no power or hole shot. The boat would just bog down and I could barely...

Hey thanks, by the looks of your pictures earlier we have the same ride, just exact opposite color scheme. what year is yours? I have an 87

ok have a really elementary question. How do you post a personalized picture above your log in name? totally stumped :mad:

would love to make it in july, but don't think its gonna happen. thats a long haul down there from ohio. don't know if we will make that far of a trip again this year or not.

Took the boat to Norris Lake, TN for a long weekend. Awesome trip. Stayed at Shanghai Marina. Had motel on water with private dock and ramp. The water was the clearest I've
been on in a while. I...

I had the boat out yesterday and a steady drip was coming in the coupler here. I know it is supposed to have some, but it seemed a bit much. can I just tighten this big nut in the picture or do I...

ha, I knew that would be the answer. the motor mounts seem good enough right now. A stringer job is in my future, but I would like to hold it off a little longer. just making sure a little water...

I wondered about my exhaust tubes also, I will get some pictures tomorrow.

I know there have been a million posts on saturated foam, but I have one more. I cut an access hole in the engine compartment to see my foam over the winter, and it was wet. I sealed up inside and...

Drew, I used an air stapler I bought on Home Depot's web site. It was only $29 and worked awesome. It just shoots your standard t-55 staples. You want to make sure you get stainless steel staples so...

sluggo looks like you know eastwood pretty well. I think they sit on the dock and wait for every boat. Everyone I know that has been there gets checked. We haven't found a place
local that isn't...

I would agree with welch. You will have a hard time getting 320 grit marks out. Sanded mine this winter and turned out great. Used 1000 grit then compounded with Presta products
and polished. I...

We are just north of Dayton near Troy Ohio. For local lakes we usually head to CJ Brown in Springfield or Eastwood.

Don't even know the boat's back there
9032

lively, you mentioned sanding and filling the holes. What are you using to fill the holes with? i have some screw holes that have stripped out, and want to fill them and redrill. Just curious what...

Just hearing your exhaust gets me all excited again! Its been a few months since I've heard that. Thanks for the info

I believe for now I will get some 5200 and seal the trapps back up good. If I do my stringers later, I can approach the flaps then. Thanks

Do you know if the flappers have a different sound than the trapps. I've read they are better for leaks, but was curious on noise. I like the throaty rumble of the trapps pretty well.

Slowly checking off the list of things on the boat. Every time I check something off, I add another. I have spent as much time learning stuff from you guys on this site as I have spent working on the...

we will keep you in our prayers. My sister was told her baby had no chance of survival and and they have a very healthy 6 year old girl. God still works miracles.

Hey thanks man, that pretty much sells me on it. Before I bought anything I wanted someones personal experience. Now I have more projects for the winter! Sure hate the
thought of drilling into the...

Boat looks great man. I am working on an 87 sunsport and I like your ideas. My questions are on your tower. How do you like the powdercoated airborne tower? I think that is the tower I am installing...

Update on my project. The vinyl was coming loose in the bow because the wood under the seats was getting soft. I removed the vinyl and foam, and remade the wood. Pulled my hair out a few times...
